Leaf as food packaging material has been known since the dawn of civilization In Indonesia itself leaf and other plant’s organic material commonly used as traditional food wrapper. Commonly known leaves such as banana leaf, waru leaf, tepus leaf, simpur leaf, syzygium leaf and also tembakak leaf are used for wrapping traditional food. Thus triggering for the use of environmentally friendly tebakak leaf plates that are easily biodegradable, easy to produce, hygienic, and have lampung cultural background. One main question can the consumer shift from plastic based disposable plate to greener leaf base plate. Can tebakak leaf plate as an eco-friendly product try to replace plastic or just another plastic alternative. And, the consumer’s perspective of tebakak leaf plates as an eco-friendly product. We learn that both leaf plates (tebakak leaf plates and teak leaf plates) can be contender for plastic plates and paper plates while styrofoam plates has the lowest value. The consumer agrees that tebakak leaf plates and the teak leaf plates are green and want to use them.
